Cereal Musings

Cheerios lacks sugar
Alphabet cereal needs marshmallows
A wise one invents Lucky Charms
I eat all the colorful marshmallows out of it too

Wheaties and Raisin Bran are awful.
Daddy eats them
I have no idea how
Is there a sugar swamp in the bottom of his bowl?

In the winter we have Cream of Wheat
Malt-o-Meal
Coco Puffs
Nothing is special about Special K

This is the cutest ever!! I heard a bagel refered to as a grown up Cherrio once. Isn't that funny? Your poem also reminds me of mornings in the 70's when my brother and I would eat soggy cereal in our pajamas in front of cartoons. I love your "sugar swamp" line, true for my dad, for me just berries. I thought this was so funny and darling, I simply love it! Now I'm craving Lucky Charms :)

I love the marshmallows out of Lucky Charms, but nothing else.
